Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- The friends that I knew and gave up for you
Turn away, while they’re passing me by
They all seem to know that I’m missing you so
I can’t hide the truth, tho’ I try
Refrain
I’m alone because I love you
Love you with all my heart
I’m alone because I had to be true
Sorry I can’t say the same about you
Yesterday’s kisses are bringing me pain
Yesterday’s sunshine has turned into rain
I’m alone because I love you
Love you with all my heart
- The long night it seems you’re with me in dreams
And you’re mine till the breaking of dawn
It’s then I awake and my heart starts to ache
For I realize that you’re gone
